Primary (Prep to Year 6) CRICOS #010139J

A JPC Primary School education is not simply about mastering the curriculum but keeping alive a child’s innate sense of wonder, showing children that learning is an adventure worth pursuing. 

The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP)​ focusses on the development of the whole child, offering a framework to meet the academic, cultural, physical, social and spiritual development of each person. The inquiry-based approach equips students with a unique global outlook and promotes subject depth and breadth.

The PYP is a structured, purposeful and planned inquiry that actively engages children. Our Primary School focuses on developing students who are motivated by the wonder of learning.

The explicit learning outcomes from the Australian Curriculum are used to drive the planning process. We focus on developing a set of core competencies, which students require in our world of continuous change. These include the ability to think critically, to communicate clearly, to work collaboratively and to solve problems creatively.

Students are an integral part of the learning process and are encouraged to become independent learners. While building these foundational skills, students participate in blocks of learning dedicated explicitly to the teaching of literacy and numeracy.

At JPC, students are encouraged to reflect on their learning as critical thinkers who develop the ability to take action. They become active, caring and thinking participants who show empathy to others. Our goal is for students to remain curious and intrinsically motivated in their pursuit of lifelong learning. ​

​We recognise that students are individuals, with individual needs. The challenge all schools face is to offer learning programs that engage students at all stages of their life. At John Paul College our teaching and learning environment offers an exceptionally broad range of opportunities that will motivate and encourage students. ​ We cater for all levels of ability and allow students to explore their own specific interests. In addition, students develop strong relationships with their teachers who get to know them really well and are able to give them opportunities to be successful in their learning. In the Secondary School at JPC, we strive to meet these challenges. Students’ are increasingly given opportunities to choose subjects they have a particular interest in. These range from highly academic courses through to vocational courses, traineeships and apprenticeships. Whatever pathway a student takes, the overwhelming majority of our students choose to go on to further tertiary education when they leave school.
